Try Koch's Restorations in Canyon Country Ca. (805) 252-9264. They will give
you an estimate for time and price. (This came from an article on p.48 of the
Aug/Sept '97 issue of British Car magazine)

Very easily. Just remove the baacking in the trunk, release the clamp on the
fill spout and twist the cap.

My opinion is that US import spec cars had clear turn signal lights. I can't
remember amber turn signal lights as standard on cars in the US in the '60s.
On the TR4's the amber lights were used in the UK and in some European
countries.
There are two configurations however. Mine had the later, larger lenses.
Earlier TR4's had a smaller lense with different "guts." See page 81 of the
Moss (edition TRI-07) catalogue. I have the lower lights on that page i.e.
the CLEAR Moss #544-070 assembly (my Comm# is CT33118L - so that jibes).
